Comedian Jon Stewart rescues goats from New York subway tracks

For many New Yorkers, a Monday morning subway commute is an experience they'd be delighted to avoid. The pair were apparently captured with the help of US comedian Jon Stewart and his wife Tracey, who transported them to a nearby animal shelter. He and his wife are supporters of the Farm Sanctuary shelter in upstate New York where the rogue goats were taken in, and have previously adopted an abused horse and a bull that escaped from a slaughterhouse. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the New York Subway, said it had called the police and Animal Control about the goats, which were spotted on the tracks between the Fort Hamilton and New Utrecht stations. The New York City subway's social media account saw the funny side and tweeted that goats were "Two very baaaaad boys", alongside a picture.
